ok then. photogenie says this works on 2.2.2 .

smleg... i'm honestly have no idea what is causing your problem. the php in this hack isn't anything fancy. like you said, it's prolly because PHP/MySQL isn't setup properly on your machine... and that's something i can't help you with.

Yes it does work with 2.2.2 and it sure beats the hell out of php chats. It's great to have your message go directly to the chat when you enter without the delay and refresh. Easiest hack I've installed yet. Rates a 10 in my book. :)

I am having the same problem as hypedave.

I have a large hand full of registered members who cannot access the chat page. It says they are logged in but no access.

My script is in the forum root too. I have made changes to manually allow specific usergroups and it works fine for everyone except the handfull that are having the access problems. A database error occurs when those members try to access the page then.

Any idea why only some can't access even though they are members?

I have tested this myself and when I login as them I can't get in either so it can't be a cookies thing locally.

please help

everyone that is registered and logged in should be able to access chat.

oh wait. you are running vbportal. i recall some one else had problems with this chat script and vbportal. probably something with global.php. you might try uploading the regular global.php to your forum directory but call it global2.php so it doesn't overwrite or conflict with anything else. then edit the chat scripts to include global2.php instead of global.php. (random idea, might work, might not)

otherwise you might want to ask wajones @ www.phpportals.com about this problem. give him a link to this thread and ask him if he knows what you need to change to get it working with vbportal.

thank you ...I will try both suggeestions

This is a great hack.. I managed to put together a simple upgrade for myself for showing online chatters that involved no altering of the original install other than pointing your browser to a different page. I guess you could call it an addon. I would share it but it involves code from Dom's Who's chatting hack and I don't want to upset anyone. Again, this is a GREAT hack!

...or at least some linkage for Dom's Who's chatting hack. :)

Here ya go... Like I said, none of this is mine I just moved things around a little..

I moved where I place $chatters at on my boards. You only see the area where chatters are listed if there are chatters in chat..
Include in the text file..
